His current collaboration with the one and only Anna Moore in creating, “It Wasn't You” has a mystical quality throughout. Your soul will definitely tingle as you listen to this exquisite fusion of jazz, R&B, and soul. This song demonstrates Mike Di Lorenzo and Anna Moore's extraordinary talent and chemistry. It is astounding what they are capable of producing such a technically flawless and intensely emotive piece of music. The music evoked strong emotions in me as I listened, leaving a lasting impression long after the last note faded. For everyone who values music's artistic quality and its profound ability to affect one's spirit, this song is a must-listen.

JASHIVO This show is being brought to you by www.gubbarum.com Jashivo is a singer, songwriter, producer, and artist. Growing up in Bulgaria, he learned to play piano, and started singing later, during his stay in Kyrgyzstan. ‘Cancelled World' is another excellent collaboration of Jashivo and Felix Kotlo. Stunning and catchy, slightly reminiscent of disco from the 80's. ‘Cancelled World' is driven by excellent musical composition and crystal-clear and resonating vocals. Light, warm and easy on the ear. This song is about ‘cancel culture', which promotes public shaming when people and brands are spurned due to their comments, actions or stances that some perceive to be wrong. Anonymous and fuelled by a pack mentality, and intensely polarising, the supporters of cancelled culture believe that if someone does something wrong, or champions someone or something that we may not like or agree with, then we must stop supporting them immediately. No grey areas allowed.

Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi, and welcome to the Sales Enablement PRO podcast. I am Shawnna Sumaoang. Sales enablement is a constantly evolving space and we're here to help professionals stay up to date on the latest trends and best practices so that they can be more effective in their jobs. Over the past 199 episodes, we've spoken to enablement leaders spanning geos, industries, and organization sizes about how they are upleveling their own programs to drive business impact and solidify enablement as a must-have function in the business. Across all pillars of enablement, from onboarding to training, coaching, content, and engagement, one theme remains a throughline to effective enablement: proving business impact. To celebrate the 200th episode, we want to highlight 20 powerful sales enablement statistics that reinforce the value of effective enablement, along with insights from some of our past guests and enablement leaders that help shed light on what good looks like in enablement today. Let's start with the programs that often serve as a rep's first impression of enablement: onboarding and training. For our first sales enablement stat, we found that teams that effectively provide foundational knowledge in their onboarding and training programs see a 10-percentage-point increase in quota attainment. Nina LaRouche from Bazaarvoice shared some advice with us on how to set reps up for success from the beginning of onboarding to ongoing training. Nina LaRouche: For me, as an enablement practitioner and somebody who's been in the learning space for a long time, I really think about learning as a journey. It's not a destination, it's not an event. One of the books that I've recently read is by Laura Fletcher and Sharon Boller, and they talk about the four stages of learning. First, preparing to learn, second, acquiring knowledge or skills, third, building memory practice, and then fourth, sustain and grow. I think all of these pieces are critical when you think about really designing effective learning experiences. SS: For our second sales enablement stat, using data effectively to improve sales onboarding and training programs can lead to a 9-percentage-point increase in average win rates. Amanda Romeo from DailyPay talked to us about how she measures the success of her learning programs. Amanda Romeo: I'm very results-driven. I'm a big fan of the Kirkpatrick model for measuring effectiveness and I presented on this topic with some other enablement groups. Simply put, the Kirkpatrick model is broken into four levels: reaction, learning, behavior, and results. Reaction, simple satisfaction surveys…The second component is learning, and this is achieved through written tests, certifications, so on and so forth. One thing to note is that for reaction and learning to be really telling, you usually want to pair those two results together. For example, if they liked the training but didn't learn anything, it wasn't necessarily an effective initiative. Now, usually this is where I hear a lot of practitioners stop…Where I think we really get the business's attention is beyond that when we talk about behavior and results. SS: In tracking the impact of onboarding and training, having the right tools in place can make a big difference. For our third sales enablement stat, we found that teams using onboarding tools see quota attainment improvements of 3 percentage points. Let's hear from Celine Laffargue at Salesforce to learn how her team is leveraging tools to improve learning in the virtual environment. Celine Laffargue: We are using lots of tools today. The virtual world opened many new perspectives on this type of usage and apps. We do a lot of simulations, and you use simulations to really have people active during the training. We know that today, just delivering your content when you have a speaker and people listening is not enough. You need to have the interaction, you need to have people involved, and you need to use all the tools you can. SS: Alongside seamless onboarding and training, coaching reps can help strengthen the skills and behaviors that ultimately lead to an improved customer experience. Our 4th sales enablement stat highlights this, as companies with effective sales coaching are 177% more likely to be effective at negotiation and handling objections. To add insight on how coaching can improve the customer experience, let's hear from Aaron Evans at Flow State. Aaron Evans: I think that it’s been incredibly valuable. The byproduct of that is how will it affect the customer? Well the things that you are coaching on, whether that is strategies that you are going to approach the customers with, or processes, whatever it may be that you are coaching on, 2e are finding that the outcomes are much stronger and much better. I think coaching will ultimately create a better customer experience because you're coaching on the fundamentals that the business wants to execute on to ultimately achieve the goal of adding value in generating revenue. SS: With insights on how coaching is leading to behavior change, enablement leaders can refine their programs. This brings us to our 5th sales enablement stat. Teams that use data to optimize sales coaching have quota attainment rates that are 5 percentage points greater. Here is Stacey Justice at HashiCorp talking about the ideal outcomes of coaching. Stacey Justice: Good coaching shows progress. It shows development. If it's not happening consistently, if there aren't goals, if there isn't a level of accountability that comes from it, then I just don't think that you see that progress. SS: For our 6th sales enablement stat, we found that teams that use sales coaching tools are 20% more likely to effectively negotiate and handle objections. Let's hear from Chad Dyar from Zoom about the impact of coaching tools on the effectiveness of coaching programs. Chad Dyar: For coaching, we use coaching technology to make sure managers were doing it every week and that their reps are improving the different areas that they were coaching on. So, if we identify that a rep was maybe stronger in discovery, but weaker in qualification, we would be measuring how they improved and how they're qualifying their deals over the course of the quarter. So, forecasting went right down the line with what the reps were responsible for and how the managers were coaching to better behaviors. SS: To equip reps to effectively engage with customers, training and coaching the right behaviors is only part of the full puzzle. Reps also need impactful content to deliver the right messages to buyers at the right time. Our 7th sales enablement stat found that having a proactive content strategy increases employee engagement by 25%. Hear why this is so important from Henry Adaso, author of “Content Mapping”. Henry Adaso: We need to figure out how to increase the value of the work that we're doing. That means constantly reviewing and evaluating our content strategies to make sure that whatever we're doing is actually working. Our content strategy will need to be re-evaluated from time to time as we receive inputs from the marketplace, as we receive input from the organization or the brand or the customer, we need to pivot just like we've done recently to make sure that we're still able to resonate. SS: This brings us to our 8th sales enablement stat: sales enablement teams that strategically organize their sales content see a 14-percentage-point increase in win rates. Marcela Piñeros at Stripe shared with us a bit about why this is so important. Marcela Piñeros: One major shift that I feel we need to make as enablement functions in general is to go from being content creators to being content curators…A lot of us do this work manually, so you know that the lift is enormous, and it does feel like a hamster wheel. You're constantly trying to catch up and you can never really catch up when you're talking about a hundred assets. You can potentially manage that content in a spreadsheet, but when you start thinking in the hundreds or the thousands, you really need technology to support you. You need to be able to lean on processes and tools that help you automate that. You can focus on more impactful tasks, like deciding what content you actually need to source to support key business priorities. SS: We have all heard the phrase “time is money” and when it comes to sales, this really is true. Take our 9th sales enablement stat for example: companies that track the time spent searching for content see a 4-percentage-point increase in cross-sell deals. To double-tap into this statistic, let's get insight from Chris Wrenn at Adobe. Chris Wrenn: A lot of the work from a design and content strategy and management perspective and content delivery perspective has been around really making content easy to find, making sure that it is authoritative, and also just making sure that there are some governance activities in place to keep it up to date and current. Those three areas, search, governing, and authoritativeness of documents so people know they've got the right version at the right time, and also that it's up to date, those are the three things that I think have been continuous in what my team's journey has been, going from managing content to getting more involved in the actual experience of how people receive content, where they get it, and how they use it. SS: Having content that is easy to find is only half the battle. That content also needs to resonate with buyers. Our 10th sales enablement stat emphasizes this: teams that effectively engage customers with content see a 20-percentage-point increase in win rate. Eric Andrews from TriNet shared some thoughts with us on how his team prioritizes customer-centricity in their content strategy. Eric Andrews: I think one of the best ways to get the team more customer-centric is to focus on doing fewer things but doing them consistently and with a high level of quality. There's only so much content that sellers or buyers can consume and we're trying to shift from a “more is more” motto to a “more is less” motto. It's the old Mark Twain adage, “I'd have written a shorter note if I'd had more time.” This is really about providing fewer, really high-quality enablement assets that sellers understand and can use effectively in the buying process rather than having to hunt through hundreds of documents to find the ones that make the most sense for their customers. SS: Beyond just having the right content, reps need guidance on when and how to engage buyers through sales plays. For our 11th sales enablement stat, we found that those who use data to optimize their sales plays see win rates that are 15 percentage points higher. Let's hear from Nieka Mamczak at Drift on the impact of data-driven sales plays. Nieka Mamczak: Sales plays are not just warm and fuzzy, nice ideas, they are meant to drive results. You want to make sure that you're establishing a sales play metric protocol that shows results – is this play influencing a customer conversation? Or is this play influencing a pipeline number, or is this play influencing a growth target or an expansion target? Make sure that revenue impact is also very key. SS: In sales, customer engagement is one of the most important factors of success. Our 12th sales enablement stat highlights this: we found that effectively tracking sales engagement efforts can lead to 10-percentage-point greater win rates. Kris Rudeegraap, the CEO and co-founder of Sendoso shared with us a bit about why customer engagement is so important to sales success today. Kris Rudeegraap: Today's buyers really do a lot of homework in advance of buying. So, there's a lot of information out there on the web and because of that, when salespeople are reaching out, I think relevancy and personalization are some key things that you've got to think about when going after the buyer. I think an orchestrated outreach and not bombarding with generic mass outreach is really what matters to them. I think you've probably seen yourself that people can be bombarded with thousands of messages every day, so it's really reaching out with something that feels more genuine specifically to them. SS: Our 13th sales enablement stat digs into this even further. We found that teams that leverage sales engagement data to improve the buyer experience have win rates that are 8 percentage points higher. Let's hear from Wynne Brown at Fable on how her team optimizes the customer experience through data. Wynne Brown: What we've seen is our most successful customers have us see them throughout that whole customer journey, not just in the sales process where we're trying to get the dollars, but during implementation and of course after implementation with our customer success management team. I feel like customer-centricity is a little bit like art – you know it when you see it. But we are trying to put at least that cipher or that symbol in place that we know that if we visit and we show up and we form real human relationships, we succeed more because the customer succeeds more. SS: When reps are highly engaged in an organization, they are better positioned to provide a positive buyer experience. This brings us to our 14th sales enablement stat: organizations that have above-average employee engagement are 3 times more likely to have above-average customer engagement. Let's hear from Michelle Anthony at LHH on how she is keeping her employees engaged. Michelle Anthony: I think it really does come down to empathy at the core, especially as leaders. I have found that I've had to put on my calendar as a reminder to make sure, whether it's a team meeting, whether it's one-on-ones, that I'm creating time and space just to check in and ask people how they're doing. And not like, how is work going, but like, how are you doing? How is life? How are things going for you? What can I do to help? What is it that you need for me? Amazing conversations surface…We're all part of different communities and making people feel valued and appreciated for the work that they're doing as part of this community is really important. I think that empathy is needed from our team now more than ever. I think just listening, honestly, and responding on a human level is the best thing that we can be doing. SS: One way that companies can improve employee engagement is by investing in professional development for reps. Our 15th sales enablement stat shows why: companies that provide career development support are 50% more likely to have high employee engagement. Imogen McCourt of AndGrow.io shared some insight with us on this. Imogen McCourt: I think if you are really trying to drive world-class sales organizations and world-class sales rep productivity, you need to think very seriously about how your teams are motivated and how you can create a constantly curious approach to their attitude. That is how you get to real productivity. SS: Of course, all these initiatives can't be possible without sufficient investment in the enablement function. Our 16th sales enablement stat sheds some light here, as we found that every additional $50,000 spent on sales enablement leads to a 1-point higher win rate. Sharon Little from Skillsoft talked to us about the value of having investment from leadership in the success of the enablement function. Sharon Little: I think we're in a situation now where leaders, CEOs, heads of sales organizations really understand the value and the strategic impact that sales enablement can make. While most of us who work with sales understand that pain is a huge driver for many decisions including buying decisions and org structure decisions and where you invest your money internally within your company, I think that now sales enablement has almost become an aspirational type of investment. Most often when I talk to sales leaders, what their dream is when it comes to having a world-class sales enablement team is to have that be the impetus for creating a best-in-class sales organization overall and a selling team that has a reputation in the market of being the very best. SS: Investment in enablement efforts can encompass everything from building the team to delivering programs – but one of the most critical investments is the tech stack. In fact, our 17th sales enablement stat shows that teams using a sales enablement tool see 9-percentage-point higher win rates. Gerald Alston from Varonis spoke to us about how tools can improve rep performance. Gerald Alston: Today, salespeople really need to have a certain level of comfort with the tools and the stack to get the most out of the role. It's nearly impossible for sales rep to really generate the type of success they probably want for themselves without some tools working in unison to get them there. A big part of my role is to make sure that reps are comfortable with not only knowing how the tools function and why we actually have them, but also giving them some strategy on how to use them together, especially in-house because all companies are different. SS: Beyond improving rep performance, enablement tools can help improve collaboration across the organization. Take our 18th sales enablement stat for example. We found that those that use a sales enablement tool are 52% more likely to collaborate cross-functionally. Heidi Castagna of NVIDIA shared her perspective on how tools improve collaboration. Heidi Castagna: There is so much mutual benefit to a well-oiled enablement organization when it comes to the product we use between the marketing teams and the sales leadership. Getting excellent resources out in the field, getting those over the finish line is incredibly important, but also it's not like pulling teeth because it is obvious where the shared benefits are. SS: Enablement is well-positioned to drive this collaboration, particularly with executive leaders. Our 19th sales enablement stat shows why. We found that 87% of sales enablement teams meet or exceed expectations in collaborating with sales leadership. Caroline Holt at Bonterra shared with us how enablement can drive collaboration with executive leaders. Caroline Holt: I think that a big part of alignment is understanding both what does that person or that team need to get accomplished? What is it that they need to get out of the revenue organization or the sales organization? How does the revenue organization or sales organization affect them? How do you start to create that collaboration and alignment on business objectives? Then that starts to trickle into what we actually need to accomplish together. I think if you understand the needs of your internal stakeholders, and they understand what's in it for them to work together, it's a lot easier to build something in a collaborative zone. Even if you know what you think the direction is that you want to take from a revenue perspective or revenue enablement perspective, it gives you more clarity and it enables you to work much more closely together because you feel like you have similar consensus-based objectives as opposed to, “this is the stuff that the revenue team needs to get done and here's how I need you to help me get that done.” Which feels a lot more like, I'm either going in and selling them something or I'm going in and telling them that they need to get on board. It's tough to create that interest if they are feeling “volun-told” as opposed to a collaborative part of the solution. SS: Overall, being able to prove the business impact of enablement is a key ingredient to effective collaboration, as it can help enablement leaders earn a seat at the table. This brings us to our 20th sales enablement stat. The 56% of enablement teams that are exceptional at communicating business impact are also 2.3 times as likely to exceed expectations in collaborating with executive leaders. Let's hear from Adriana Romero at Salesforce on how data can help enablement earn a seat at the table. Adriana Romero: It is about credibility. One of the things that I would say is, you have to demonstrate that what you're doing in terms of enablement functions or workshops or any initiatives are backed up by the data that you have in the company and that you are backing up data in terms of numbers, in terms of gaps. And you're coming to the sales managers with an intelligent solution around, “look, I am not only thinking about implementing X, Y, or Zed workshop, it's that we're seeing these trends on the floor and we believe that we can actually impact efficiency or performance or any metric by doing this.” Having a very good grasp on the data that your managers and your leaders have is very important.

Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi, and welcome to the Sales Enablement PRO podcast, I'm Shawnna Sumaoang. Sales enablement is a constantly evolving space, and we’re here to help professionals stay up to date on the latest trends and best practices so that they can be more effective in their jobs. Today, I’m excited to have Gerald Alston at Varonis join us. Gerald, I’d love for you to introduce yourself, your role, and your organization to our audience. Gerald Alston: My pleasure. My name is Gerald Alston. My role is Platform Enablement Manager at Varonis, and Varonis is a pioneer in the data security and analytics space, specializing in software for really three core use cases: data protection, threat detection and response, and compliance. SS: We're excited to have you join us today. One thing on your LinkedIn bio that caught my eyes is that you like to challenge sales professionals to do better. I’d love to hear, from your opinion, what are some of the biggest obstacles that salespeople face today? GA: Well, you mentioned it really in the intro that sales is evolving and it’s doing so rapidly. The landscape is changing and COVID has only accelerated a lot of that. One of the biggest things for me in terms of pushing sales reps to do better is helping them embrace the technologies needed to be optimal in sales. It’s really tough to generate consistent success today without some help. Most of the help is some type of software or other technology that we must use to make us more efficient. When I challenge sales professionals to do better, it’s in large of part getting more out of the tools in your stack, but also just making sure that you understand where your strengths are, and you show up every day looking to leverage those to the best of your ability. SS: I love that approach. Now, I do want to double click into this because you’re obviously responsible for platforms at Varonis, so how do you help reps overcome these challenges through platform enablement? GA: With my role, it’s important that when a sales rep starts at Varonis, you have onboarding and you have training when it comes to the product and selling, but today, salespeople really need to have a certain level of comfort with the tools and the stack to get the most out of the role. It’s nearly impossible for sales rep to really generate the type of success they probably want for themselves without some tools working in unison to get them there. A big part of my role is to make sure that reps are comfortable with not only knowing how the tools function and why we actually have them, but also giving them some strategy on how to use them together, especially in-house because all companies are different. They use things different ways and Varonis is no different in that respect. My role is to really make sure that when they come on board, not only do I get them up to running on the tools, but we dive deeper into best practices and strategy, depending on the rep and their territory. SS: Yeah, I think that’s phenomenal. I think adoption of new platforms is absolutely critical. What are some of the types of platforms that you think reps need in order to really maximize success in today’s selling environment? How would you say that these platforms help to streamline processes for reps? GA: With a question like this, there are so many options out there to choose from, but I would say at minimum, you need tools that are going to help you gather insights. You need tools that will help you get to know prospective customers without them necessarily knowing that you’re there. If you aren’t solutions-focused with your approach hoping to solve people’s problems, it’s going to be tough to get their attention. You need tools that will help you not only gather insights, but also verify your contact information to make sure you have the most accurate information that you can work with. Beyond that, you need a tool that’s going to help you reach out to these individuals across multiple channels and do so consistently without having leads fall through the cracks. You need to stay organized and ultimately you need something that’s going to help you scale your activity day to day in a way where you can keep up with the demands of the landscape. Unfortunately for salespeople, the job just gets harder year over year. The number of touches that it takes to take a stranger and turn them into a prospect and now they’re sitting here looking at your demo, that just increases year over year. How do you keep up with that demand? If you’re a salesperson, it’s really tough to do so if you don’t have certain platforms in place to help with that process. SS: Absolutely. I think part of the process for equipping reps is making sure that they’re armed with the right resources that they need to effectively engage with their buyers. What role do platforms play in this? GA: Well, from my perspective, the platforms are critical, but I guess for me the first domino to fall is you have to get in contact with someone to even start a conversation. If you have to get in contact with someone, how do you even get their attention to get in contact? That’s really what the tools are there to do, to really help you get their attention. If you don’t have certain tools and you have more of a traditional approach where maybe you spray and pray email, you just stick to templates, you don’t add elements of personalization, some reps of course might be allergic to cold calls, if you will, some might be allergic to adding little elements of personalization they really just prefer for the speed of things to send out the template as is, unfortunately these types of approaches that maybe have generated success years ago, they won’t give you the consistent results today. If you don’t have platforms in place to get their attention, then how do you even start the conversation? My biggest part is not so much focused on engaging with customers, but I want to make sure that our reps, when they reach out, they have everything they need to not only get someone’s attention, but to leave a lasting and memorable impression so that they stay top of mind with these prospects. That’s really the game that I focus on. That introduction, leaving an impression good enough to where they actually want to see more of your product, and they show up to see it. That is really what I think is the bread and butter when it comes to top of the funnel, and you can leverage these tools in ways to really check a lot of boxes in that respect. SS: No, absolutely. In fact, I’d love to dig a little deeper into this notion of engagement. What are some of the key metrics that you look at in determining how successful maybe some of your reps are at engaging with these buyers and customers? What are some of the ways that you gather these insights? GA: So, I like this question because when it comes to key metrics, it’s really contextual on who I’m working with. What it takes to sell in say New York or in Seattle may be different than what it takes to sell in North Carolina or Georgia. When I meet with a rep, first and foremost before I look at any metrics, I want to look at the art of what they’re doing. The things that can’t necessarily be measured in the day-to-day to see, is there anything that we can do? It may not be that you don’t work hard enough. It could be that you have the right numbers, the right output, you’re sending out the emails, but the nuance in your messaging may be off. What I really look for is, one, what result are you looking to get? Did you get it? If you didn’t get your result, let’s take a look at what you did and then I’m going to try my best to help you figure out how to eventually get there. Honestly, I don’t know if there’s a key metric other than talking to the rep. Did you meet your goal, or did you not meet your goal? That’s my approach from an enablement standpoint. It's not that I don’t care about the metrics, but my job is just to help ensure that reps are getting the most out of their experience. I’ll leave the metrics and all that to the managers. SS: Yeah, absolutely. Well, I think that definitely makes a ton of sense for managers to be looking at those key metrics. A closing question for you, Gerald, looking ahead to 2022, what do you think some of the biggest opportunities are for organizations to better enable their sales teams through platforms? GA: You know, looking ahead, the reality of these tools and their impact in the sales world is undeniable. It’s a requirement now that sales reps have a certain level of comfort with these tools to really get the most out of the role. Organizations moving forward, I think the biggest opportunities really just lie in the fact that the role that I am currently in, it didn’t exist until it was created. I think that there’s a lot of opportunities to really specialize the training around some of these tools in the stack, and it’s needed because again, companies use these technologies in so many different ways. You need people inside the organization who understand how it fits within the scheme of the organization, and then they can communicate that to others as they come on board. I think that we have so many tools that we invest in, the opportunity is there to just further develop support around those tools to support the organization and it's something that I don’t want to say is unlimited, but the technology is not going anywhere and it’s going to be only more and more important to have that expertise inside the organization. I think that’s really the biggest opportunity moving forward, leveraging the expertise to make sure that when sales reps come on board, they don’t really have as much of an uphill battle that they may have experienced in other places. SS: Absolutely. Well, thank you Gerald so much for your time today and your insights that you shared with us. GA: Oh, my pleasure. SS: To our audience, thanks for listening.

E aí meus amigos beleza? Espero que estejam todos bem, meu nome é Anderson Rodrigues e Muita gente me conhece por Pimenta , e nesta rapidinha do pimenta vamos falar sobre discos e livros que consumi durante essa minha vid Hoje vou falar sobre o disco do the Manhattans então vem comigo pra mais um episódio de discos e livros. Introdução Então pessoal. O disco que vamos falar hoje é este aqui The Manhattans greatest hits Ouvi este disco durante minha infância, eu que sou membro da família popular brasileira, por favor não confundam com família tradicional brasileira porwue ao contrário a família popular brasileira é o filho criado sem o pai, então minhas influências musicais vieram da minha mãe, minha avó e do meu padrinho, bom retornando ao disco, vamos. Conhecer um pouco do grupo the Manhattans Criado em 1962 na cidade de Nova Jersey, o quinteto Manhattans, formado por George Smith (que morreu em 1970, sendo substituído por Gerald Alston), Winnie Lovett, Kenny Kelly, Ernest Bivens e Richard Taylor. Em 1975, eles assinaram contrato com a Columbia records, iniciando ali sua melhor fase. O primeiro grande hit da carreira dos Manhattans veio em 1976, com "Kiss and Say Goodbye". Quatro anos depois, o grupo emplacou outro grande sucesso: "Shining Star". Em 1983, os Manhattans gravaram mais uma balada que se tornaria clássica, "Forever by Your Side". Foi o último hit do grupo, que existiu até o fim dos anos 80 / Início dos anos 90, The Manhattans tocava na vitrola de casa aos fins de semana quando minha mãe estava de folga e gostava de ouvir seus discos, ainda me lembro das tardes de sábado que ela ouvia os discos e eu brincava no quintal, no jardim Vaz de Lima ali na zona sul de São Paulo. A primeira faixa do álbum era... I'll never find another (find another like you) já começa em grande. Música linda, confesso que naquela época não dava muito valor a música mas sabia que era uma grande música. A segunda faixa era... "Shining Star" uma música muito popular e um dos maiores hits do manhattans, A canção foi gravada em 1980 e lançada no mesmo ano no álbum After Midnight . "Shining Star" foi lançado como single em 1980 e alcançou a 4° posição de R&B da Billboard dos EUA , e número 5 na Billboard Hot 100 dos EUA . A canção fez mais sucesso na Nova Zelândia , onde alcançou a posição número 2; a mesma posição que também alcançou na revista Black Oriented Singles da revista Record World dos EUA. Embora não tenha alcançado o número um em nenhuma parada, "Shining Star" foi o maior sucesso do grupo. Uma observação é que em 2002 o grupo de rap 509-E lançou uma música com o samples de shining star chamada mile dias entao a Música apareceu 2 vezes na minha vida. Fica aqui o salve pra dexter e afro x. Tamojunto. Bom a faixa seguinte é... Kiss and Say Goodbye " é uma canção de 1976 . Foi escrita 2 Winfred Lovett, o cantor e compositor do grupo, que entoou a introdução falada da música. A música foi um dos seus quadros hit no Top 10 em muitos países, incluindo No. 1 nos EUA, Bélgica , Holanda , Nova Zelândia , e na Europa.

The Manhattans ft Gerald Alston new song,Get It Ready " THE MANHATTANS were originally: Winfred “Blue” Lovett, Richard Taylor, Kenny Kelly, George “Smitty” Smith and Edward “Sonny” Bivins. Blue and Smitty were out front as the group’s strong lead singers. Blue was also the group leader and an outstanding songwriter whose compositions with producer Joe Evans gave the group a string of hits on Carnival Records during the mid 1960s. When Smith became ill in 1970, Phil Terrell stepped in as temporary lead singer until a permanent replacement could be found. In the fall of that same year, Gerald Alston, whose style paid homage to the legendary Sam Cooke took over as lead singer. More a pop singer than either Lovett or Smith, Alston’s incorporation into the group enabled THE MANHATTANS to break out of their mold as “doo-woppers” and achieve major national success on Starday/King Records with a Teddy Randazzo love song entitled “A Million To One”. In 1972, Blue Lovett’s “One Life To Live” reached the top 20 R&B charts. With Alston handling all lead vocals and Lovett providing smooth spoken introductions, THE MANHATTANS moved to Columbia Records in 1973 where they collaborated with producer Bobby Martin on a string of hit ballads including, “There’s No Me Without You”, “We Never Danced To A Love Song” and “Hurt”. The most notable of these ballads was Blue Lovett’s “Kiss And Say Goodbye”, a platinum selling #1 pop and R&B hit in 1976. In that same year, THE MANHATTANS teamed up once again with producer Randazzo to record “Feels So Good”, “You’re My Life” and “There’s No Good In Goodbye”.
EBAN BROWN GUITARIST/VOCALIST/COMPOSER/ACTOR Hailing from Newark, NJ, Harold Eban Brown is a world-renowned guitarist, composer and singer. Motivated by strong family support and a firm belief in God, Eban exhibited a gift for music at an exceptionally early age. Eban began playing guitar and singing with several gospel groups by age seven and as he became older his interest in studying jazz guitar was influenced by Wes Montgomery, George Benson, David T. Walker, Larry Carlton, Grant Geissman, George Duke, and Bobby Caldwell. It was during this time that Eban Brown, realized another gift, that of songwriter. In 1991, Eban Brown became the lead vocalist for his idol artist group RAY, GOODMAN & BROWN (better known as The MOMENTS). Although Eban was originally chosen to sign on as the group's guitarist, instead, he was instantly moved to the frontline to sing with his idol group. The founding members thought his physical characteristics were too young at the time to take promotional photos for marketing, so he continued to perform with the group for two and a half years. Later Eban would become a member of the one time Grammy-Award winning group; The MANHATTANS (featuring Gerald Alston and Blue Lovett) his stay was very short lived due to future accomplishments. In 1993, Eban became the lead vocalist of the DELFONICS, and was the first lead vocalist of the DELFONICS to be inducted into the 98.7 KISS FM HALL OF FAME, in New York City, the NAACP HALL OF FAME, in Atlanta, GA and in 1996, received a NAACP award for his accomplishments as lead vocalist of The DELFONICS. The Delfonics, which featured Wilbert Hart, Major Harris and Eban Brown, has dazzled fans overseas, as well as the United States. In 1995, with the DELFONICS, Eban recorded a live album "Wil Hart and The DELFONICS live in Chattanooga, TN which was considered one of the group's most treasured recordings. In 1994, Eban Brown also produced two songs for Rap Artist Rob Base, on the Album "Break of Dawn", which featured the DELFONICS, the two songs were "Are You With Me", and "Chillin”. In 1998, due to adversity with the music business Brown took a two-year break to structure family life before striking success again. In April 2000, unexpectedly, Brown became the lead vocalist of the world renowned STYLISTICS, following Mr. Russell Thompkins Jr., the original lead vocalist. As it stands, Eban is the youngest Classic Soul recording artist in the History of Classic Soul Music. In 2002, Eban formed Stardom Records, with his first solo album release, entitled "MASTER SUITE", a Jazz/Pop masterpiece with an amazing acoustic guitar feel. In July 2004 came Eban's second album release entitled "RESTLESS SOUL", which is highly influenced by pop with jazz overtones. In 2006, Eban released his third album entitled "EXIT 15", it's a collection of 10 Selections which five are originals and the other five are remakes that mark some of the greatest songs he always promised he would record. In 2008, Eban has teamed up with Rap Superstar “NAS” on a Song called “CAN'T STOP US NOW”, which is a sample of “Message To A Black Man” from a 70's Group “The Whatnauts”. In 2009, Eban released his first all instrumental album titled “DETERMINISM” which debuts his sister Lisa Brown on vocals. In 2014, Eban released his 5th Album titled “SUMMERTIME IN TOKYO” , which features an original Selection Tribute to The Late George Duke, including 4 very Well known remakes. One of Eban's many endeavors is to continue to record original music that people will enjoy listening to as well as write music for other artists'.In 2015, Eban released his first Dance Selection titled "NEVER GONNA LET YOU GO" which was launched in The United Kingdom and has been remixed and released as an extended Dance Version by DJ Stathis of Greece.

October 3, 2017, he may have made his name playing as part of the James Brown band, but trumpeter Willie Bradley has become a go-to musician for many of soul music’s greats over the years. Willie is readying his new CD, Going With the Flow, and it promises to be a smooth winner. To put a sharper point on that, the first single from the album is out, and it is terrific. Featuring Manhattans lead singer and longtime SoulTracks fave Gerald Alston, “In the Meantime” is a cool midtempo number that borders soul and jazz and that has a positive message of living in harmony at a time of an awful lot of confusion in the world. "This is a distinctly full-bodied, very brassy, well-produced effort that further illuminates this trumpeter who obviously puts his all into what he presents here. Take it to the bank that this is – at the very least — as satisfying as his previous project. A two-thumbs-up album." – Ronald Jackson, The Smooth Jazz Ride. Follow Willie on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Tracey Carrington Alston was born in South Boston, Virginia. She lived between Virginia and New York most of her childhood and she accepted Christ in 1995. Tracey is married to Gerald Alston and they have four children. Tracey's heart is to help the homeless and less fortunate. Her favorite verse is...we are the salt of the earth. Matt 5:13 In 2008, Minister Gerald Alston and his wife, Tracey, visited the Washington DC metropolitan area, handing out warm and nutritious meals to the men and women who sat in our nation's parks. Month after month, they continued distributing nourishment to those in need. They eventually expanded their distribution to the homeless community of Southern Maryland. Along with food, they passed out survival kits that included tents, sleeping bags, blankets, etc. The Alstons recognized the ongoing need to help the homeless and thus, in 2010, Anathoth House, Inc. a ministry of restoration was established. (www.anathothhouse.org) Our mission is to go out into the hedges and highways, to reach the many who are hurting, hopeless and/or have been treated unjustly due to the lack of resources. As we meet their practical needs, we encourage them in the Gospel, in the hopes that they will soon yearn for a more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe the daily application of God's principles will enable those who are facing crisis, to enter into a lifestyle of victorious living. We know restoration is a delicate work and it is not to be done without much prayer and direction from our Heavenly Father. Anathoth House would like to thank those of you who contribute to this ministry. Your prayers, donations and testimonies have given us the support we need to be an extension of God's hands and feet, reaching those who are less fortunate .

Interview with the Legendary Gerald Alston and Winfred "Blue" Lovett of The Manhattans With Gerald Alston's smooth lead vocals, solid songwriting talent within the group and the always wonderful work of Philly producer/arrranger Bobby Martin, the Manhattans began to score on the R&B charts, putting out a string of fairly traditional ballads that became Soul hits. Then in 1976, the quintet released Lovett's composition "Kiss and Say Goodbye," the song that would become their signature tune. "Kiss" rocketed to the top of the R&B and Pop charts, and moved the group to the upper tier of R&B acts. And the companion self-titled LP became the first of several top notch albums that the group released in the 70s and 80s. With such great singles as "It Feels So Good to be Loved So Bad," "I Kinda Miss You," "We Never Danced To A Love Song" and "Am I Losing You," the Manhattans' late 70s albums It Feels So Good, There's No Me Without You and Love Talk, were among the decade's best (though they are generally unavailable in CD form). Love Talk was perhaps the Manhattans' greatest disc - though not their most popular - a near-perfect adult Soul album that sounds as great today as it did 25 years ago. After "Kiss and Say Goodbye," the Manhattans spent the remainder of the decade scoring almost exclusively on the R&B charts.
